Definitions
- the present invention relates to an artificial airway device of the type capable of facilitating ventilation in unconscious patients, and more specifically to such a device designed for placing in the oropharynx of the patient in order to prevent airway obstruction and to permit ventilation.
- British Patent Publications Nos. 2 111 394 A and 2 229 367 A describe artificial airway devices capable of facilitating lung ventilation in an unconscious patient, referred to hereinafter as "laryngeal masks".
- the insertion of a laryngeal mask needs to be undertaken by persons practised in the use of the mask and is not so effective in emergency situations where untrained personnel may be called to a patient.
- these devices suffer from the limitation that they do not offer the same degree of protection against aspiration of regurgitated gastric contents into the lungs as does an endotracheal tube.
- the latter device has long been established as the most reliable means of preventing such aspiration in the unconscious patient and consists of a tube with an inflatable cuff, inflation of which forms a seal against the wall of the trachea.
- the laryngeal mask by contrast forms a seal around the perimeter of the larynx by means of an inflatable elliptical cuff.
- the seal so formed depends on pressure against muscular structures which may by their contraction or relaxation influence this pressure, thus making the seal variable.
- the degree of protection against aspiration already afforded by the laryngeal mask would be enhanced by allowing intubation with an endotracheal tube, with the laryngeal mask in place.
- an artificial airway device to facilitate lung ventilation in an unconscious patient, comprising a substantially rigid airway tube and a mask attached to an end of the airway tube, the mask having an annular peripheral formation of roughly elliptical shape capable of conforming to, or readily fitting within, the actual and potential space behind the larynx so as to form a seal around the circumference of the laryngeal inlet without the device penetrating into the interior of the larynx, the annular peripheral formation surrounding a hollow interior space or lumen of the mask into which the airway tube opens, in which said airway tube is curved to follow the airway of a patient, and said device further comprises a substantially rigid handle portion mounted to an end of the airway tube remote from the mask and extending in a direction away from the mouth of said airway tube.
- the handle portion curves in a direction opposite to the direction of curvature of the airway tube, for example to form an S shape.
- This shape allows a person to insert a laryngeal mask into a patient quickly and effectively.
- the handle portion can be removably mounted to the airway tube so that it can be detached after being used to guide the laryngeal mask into place. This has the advantage that the mask can be left in place in a patient without impeding medical attention.
- the mask may include a stiff back piece surrounded by the annular peripheral portion. This assists in allowing the larynx to be pulled forward by manipulating the handle portion to enable regurgitated stomach contents to be released and to increase the seal of the annular peripheral formation against the laryngeal inlet.
- the diameter of the airway tube can be such as to allow an endotracheal tube to be inserted through the tube to intubate a patient while the handle portion is braced manually.
- the inventor has found that in this way it is possible to use a laryngeal mask as a guiding tool to facilitate passage of a normal diameter endotracheal tube into the trachea. This is feasible because the aperture in the laryngeal mask when correctly in position faces directly into the laryngeal orifice. By passing a well lubricated endotracheal tube and cuff through the tube of the laryngeal mask, it is thus possible to perform blind intubation whilst still ventilating the unconscious patient through the laryngeal mask.
- the end of the airway tube remote from the mask may comprise a connecting portion for connection of the airway tube to a ventilation apparatus. This can enable a patient to be ventilated with or without intubation.
- the device may include a bite portion adjacent the end of the airway tube remote from the mask for protecting the teeth of the patient.
- the airway tube and the handle portion may be of stainless steel.
- FIGURE 1 shows a laryngeal mask airway according to an embodiment of the present invention
- FIGURE 2 shows a plan view of the laryngeal mask portion of the embodiment shown in Figure 1;
- FIGURE 3 shows a laryngeal mask according to an embodiment of the present invention in use in a patient
- FIGURE 4 shows an alternative laryngeal mask airway according to the present invention.
- Figure 1 shows a laryngeal mask 12 made of silicone and mounted to a stainless steel airway tube 10.
- the airway tube 10 is bonded by means such as ribbing and/or adhesives to a breathing tube port 22 of the laryngeal mask 12.
- the laryngeal mask is known per se from GB 2111394 and 2229367 the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Only those aspects of the mask required to explain the present invention are described herein.
- the airway 10 is of sufficient diameter to accommodate an 8mm cuffed endotracheal tube.
- the airway tube 10 is bent around a curve having a curvature angle of approximately 90° in such a way as to fit around the curvature at the back of the tongue.
- the tube widens and incorporates a flange 11 made of a material which will withstand biting without being hard enough to damage the patient's teeth.
- a handle 9 is securely mounted to the outer end 10a of the tube 10, the handle 9 being curved in the opposite direction to the tube 10.
- the handle 9 can be fixed to the airway tube 10 or can be removably mounted through slots or the like.
- Figure 2 shows details of the laryngeal mask 12 in plan view.
- the mask 12 is of flexible rubber sheet material having an inflatable tubular ring 14 of the same silicone rubber material forming its periphery.
- the peripheral ring 14 is roughly elliptical in plan although its distal end 15 may be slightly elongated to conform with the triangular shape of the base of the hypopharynx where it becomes continuous with the upper end of the oesophagus.
- the peripheral ring 14 includes a port 24 for connection to a rubber tube 26 of narrow diameter, through which the peripheral ring 14 may be inflated.
- the breathing tube port 22 opens into an aperture 19 in the mask, which is provided with cross-bars 21 extending across the aperture, which prevents the epiglottis from falling into the aperture and obstructing the airway.
- the aperture 19 opens into a lumen 18 or hollow interior of the mask.
- the lumen 18 is surrounded by a soft flexible upstanding collar 27, of flexible sheet rubber material, adhered at its base to the peripheral ring 14 so that its free end extends away from the lumen 18 of the mask.
- the lumen 18 is enclosed at the back of the mask by a back-piece (not shown) .
- the back-piece can be made of stiff material such as a high grade silicone.
- the peripheral ring 14 is fully deflated and the device is inserted by means of the handle 9 through the patient's mouth 30 and through the throat 31 past the epiglottis 32 until the mask 12 comes to rest in the position shown in Figure 3 with the distal end 15 of the ring 14 in the base 33 of the throat.
- the ring 14 is then inflated to increase the sealing pressure around the inlet 36 to the larynx 38.
- Intubation is then formed by passing a standard 8mm cuffed endotracheal tube 40 through the airway tube 10 and the aperture 19 into the larynx 38.
- the device is braced against the insertion of the endotracheal tube 40 by means of the handle 12. This enables insertion to be done blindly (i.e. without a laryngoscope). It thus makes the mask ideally suited to emergency conditions.
- the breathing tube port 22 opens into the lumen 18 of the mask at the appropriate angle for guiding the endotracheal tube 40 into the larynx 48, thereby allowing blind intubation of the larynx 38.
- the position of the mask 12 may be controlled by means of the handle 11 so that the correct angle of intubation is achieved.
- the handle 9 also allows the mask 12 to be pulled forwards towards the larynx 38, thereby pulling the larynx 38 forwards to allow regurgitated stomach contents to be released while maintaining a tight seal around the inlet 36 of the larynx 38.
- a standard connector 50 is provided at the outer end of the airway tube 10 for attachment of conventional anaesthetic hosing and ventilation apparatus.
- embodiments of the present invention enable blind intubation through a modified laryngeal mask with a tube such that:-
- the position of the laryngeal mask against the laryngeal orifice can be influenced by manipulation of a handle attached to the outer end of a rigid tube.
- the device can be positioned in the patient's pharynx using one hand only for insertion. This has advantages in the emergency situation where a patient may be trapped, for example in a crushed vehicle, making access difficult.
- the length of the airway tube can be comparatively short to facilitate the passing of a standard endotracheal tube, because of the addition of a handle for controlling the laryngeal mask airway.
- the airway tube is wide enough to accommodate an endotracheal tube of required diameter.
- handle 9 and airway tube 10 are of stainless steel in the above embodiments, any rigid sterilisable material may alternatively be used.
